Islam Makhachev\u2019s first UFC welterweight title defense against Ian Machado Garry should be one-sided if Sean Brady\u2019s hunch is correct.<\/p>\n

Makhachev and Garry will share the Octagon under the bright lights inside Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The championship bout is set to headline UFC 330 on Aug. 15. Brady spoke to James Lynch for Home of Fight, and he said he doesn\u2019t expect Makhachev to face difficulty scoring takedowns despite the challenger\u2019s frame.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude24Sean Brady believes Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry will be one-way traffic and is confident Islam will finish him easily. <\/p>\n

\u201cIan is definitely a big guy, but he isn\u2019t going to put you out in one shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cGarry is tall, he\u2019s long, but he\u2019s not like a [Michael] Morales where he\u2019s big and strong as well,\u201d Brady said. \u201cIan\u2019s not putting guys out with one shot. He doesn\u2019t really have that capability. So, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna be too hard for Islam to get him down.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Brady sees Makhachev finishing Garry, and he doesn\u2019t think the fight will last.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think it\u2019s one-way traffic for Islam,\u201d Brady predicted. \u201cI think he\u2019s gonna get him down and I think he will sub him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The oddsmakers are sensing a win for Makhachev over Garry, who has only been defeated by Shavkat Rakhmonov. In the loss, Garry\u2019s grappling was tested. \u201cThe Future\u201d had some moments in the fight, which made things competitive, but Rakhmonov got the better of him on points.<\/p>\n

Garry feels he has built off that bout, and he plans to demonstrate those improvements against the No. 1-ranked pound-for-pound UFC titleholder. Charles Oliviera, a former opponent of Makhachev, thinks \u201cThe Future\u201d has a solid chance of pulling off the upset. Others, such as fellow top lightweight contender Michael Morales, are more in alignment with Brady\u2019s assessment.<\/p>\n

Makhachev recently vowed to take more risks in his showdown with Garry. He captured the 170-pound gold from Jack Della Maddalena by focusing heavily on his grappling, but he promises to finish Garry at UFC 330.<\/p>\n

Will Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry be one-sided, or do you think it\u2019ll be more competitive than some are predicting? Sound off in the comments below.<\/strong><\/p>\n
